Too many people keep their old, stinky mattresses way too long. Some people don’t replace their mattress for decades. Mattresses should be replaced often. Not only does a mattress eventually wear down, but your body changes and needs new levels of comfort and support every so often. Here are the top 5 reasons to replace your old, stinky mattress today…

5. Mattress are made to be replaced – Mattresses should be replaced at least every 8-10 years. If you are sleeping on an innerspring mattress, you should be replacing your mattress more often than that. Major mattress manufacturers, like Sealy, Simmons, Serta and others, do not want to sell a product that will last 20 years or more.

Mattress companies now are focused on quality, comfort and resiliency. Some top-quality memory foam and latex mattress can last longer than 8-10 years. However, these mattresses are brand new to the market. Unless you bought a brand-new, top-quality latex or memory foam mattress recently, you need to think about replacing your mattress soon.

4. Increased Memory and Efficiency – Getting enough sleep is crucial to good health. It can increase your alertness throughout the day, increase your memory, increase your problem solving capabilities, reduce the risk of accidents and increase your overall health. Having a good mattress is also necessary to get enough rest after a long and hard days work. If you need to increase your memory, efficiency and overall health, you need to replace your mattress.

3. Reduce Back Problems – There aren’t many things worse than being in back pain. Everybody knows I live in Arizona, so besides the normal visit to my Tempe Chiropractor, a good mattress can minimize or eliminate upper back pain, lower back pain or neck pain. Many people think that their mattress is doing an OK job. But, it isn’t very hard to find a mattress that keeps your back misaligned. Proper spinal alignment is necessary to prevent back pain and affects all of your daily activities. If you want to get rid of back pain or prevent it, you need to replace your mattress with one that keeps your spine aligned properly.

2. New Foam Technology Leads to Better Sleep – Let’s face it…innerspring and coil mattresses are old-school. These mattresses do not provide hardly any benefits, if any. However, they are still being made and purchased because they are so cheap. New foam technology leads to better sleep and provides benefits that coil mattresses cannot provide. Foam mattresses distribute your weight evenly. This redistribution of weight reduces pressure points and prevents you from having to toss and turn all night. If you are tired of tossing and turning all night long, you need to replace your current mattress with a foam mattress.

1. Dust Mite Feces Doubled Your Bed Weight – Most people don’t realize how dust mites affect your mattress. Dust mites aren’t the only problem…their feces create a huge problem as well. Did you know that your bed weighs double what it did 10 years ago because of dust mite feces? Dust mites feed off of your dead skin. Their feces seep into your mattress and can also cause severe breathing problems.
